Designer Spotlight: Staging for TwentyTwenty Apartments

TwentyTwenty Apartment project
 

EWF Modern designed a model unit for the new TwentyTwenty Apartments in Northeast Portland. The goal was to create a compelling, modern look for a 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom unit.

Our designers chose a moody pallet to emphasize the Pacific Northwest sky, seen from the incredible floor to ceiling windows. To create a focal point, they painted accent walls and coordinated them with striking pieces of black, navy, and dark gray pieces. Our signature organic modern style emphasizes natural materials, seen in the solid wood dining table and slabs of marble.

The TwentyTwenty building was designed by a talented local architecture firm and developer. Having worked with this developer in the past, it was no surprise that they thought of all the details, from finishes to the design of the lobby, and even the logo that mimics the floorplan!

 
 

First Look: New Arrivals for January

Designer Spotlight: NE Alberta

Nov16.jpg
 

When our clients moved into a town home, they wanted to refresh the space with a new design. As two well traveled individuals, their passion for people and places is evident in their collection of art and objects from their journeys, which we used as the creative direction for the design. 

The dining room is just off the front entry, so we created an immediate impact of both drama and intimacy. The double bookshelves elongated the room, the over-sized pendant made the space feel larger and created a focal point, and the overall composition was rich, warm and elegant. Two orange ottomans gave a pop of color and double as entry benches or extra seating at the dining table.

 

In the living room, we highlighted an original painting with a carved cabinet that visually anchored it on the long wall. This created a palette of modern earth tones that feel organic but also clean, bold and contemporary. The sofa, ottoman, accent chairs and rug were selected to be a soft muted pallet - comfortable, practical, and calming.

The third room, endearingly called the ‘snuggery’, was designed as a lounge space not only for guests (as there is a hidden sleeper in the sofa) but also for the clients to relax, read and watch television.

 
 

Designer Spotlight: NE Portland

Oct26.jpg
 

Our client in NE Portland moved into a newly built contemporary home. We focused on design for the open floor plan living and dining rooms, home office, and master bedroom.

Due to the high ceilings, fresh white paint and spaciousness of the home, the objective was to create intimacy, ethereal and serene palettes, and texture to make it feel cozy and still modern. The soft grays, taupes and mineral blues in the living room, offset by the beautiful artwork and fireplace, completed the look. The ergonomics, the actual feel of upholstery, and comfort of the seating were important.

 

For example, we choose a sofa that could accommodate higher neck support with a higher-than-normal seat density to strike a very comfortable sofa sectional, perfect for watching television or curling up to a good book and enjoying a fire. Similarly, the laser-cut leather armchairs for the dining table offer a molded generous seat for a dinner that could last into the early hours.  

As a painter and highly creative person who values ritual, our client lives a life of wonder, wisdom, and whimsy. Our collaborative goal was to incorporate her ideas and preferences which, according to her son, resulted in a “modern monastery!”
